Vintage Fantasy Realist Cityscape with Pigeons and Body by Paul Gorka (c. 1970)

Oil on Canvas | Signed | Framed

Description:

This fantasy realist painting by Paul Gorka (American, 1931–2020) depicts a haunting, dreamlike cityscape where decay and abandonment dominate. In the foreground, a lone figure—possibly deceased—lies partially obscured on a narrow patch of grass, only their legs visible. Above, a flock of pigeons fills the sky, adding movement to the otherwise desolate scene. The background features crumbling architecture and an apocalyptic urban vista, rendered with meticulous detail and an eerie, surreal atmosphere.

Condition:

The work is in good condition, with minor age-consistent wear, including slight paint chipping in the sky and superficial scratches on the frame. Housed in a black wood frame with a gold-painted front edge, the piece is signed in the lower left corner.

Provenance & Artist Background:

Paul Gorka, celebrated for his distinctive fantasy realist style—a blend of precise realism and dreamlike, phantasmagoric elements—studied at NYU, the Philadelphia Academy of Fine Arts (PAFA), and the University of Pennsylvania. His works are held in prestigious collections, including PAFA, the Museum of Fine Arts in Springfield, Massachusetts, and the Woodmere Art Museum.

Dimensions:

61.5 x 41.75 inches (framed)

Shipping:

Local pickup preferred; buyer may arrange freight shipping.
